My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3

Here’s what I can say about “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3“: it is better than the second one.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 is a 2023 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Nia Vardalos

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is a 2016 American romantic comedy film directed by Kirk Jones and written by Nia Vardalos. The film stars Vardalos, John Corbett

Vardalos, who writes and directs, and Corbett remain quite likable leads, but it has always been the larger ensemble that has been the real charm of the films. Andrea Martin as Aunt Voula and Louis Mandylor as Toula’s brother Nick are reliably entertaining, as far as the script allows them. However, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3” truly misses the presence of the Portokalos matriarch, Lainie Kazan’s Maria. Unfortunately, she is limited to only a few scenes back home in Chicago and misses out on all the antics in Greece, and her absence is indeed felt.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is a 2002 romantic comedy film directed by Joel Zwick and written by Nia Vardalos

Twenty-one years after the phenomenal success of the original 2002 film, and seven years after its widely criticized sequel, franchise star and screenwriter Nia Vardalos steps behind the camera for this third installment of the comedy franchise. This time, it includes some of her beloved ethnic fictional relatives on a pleasant, harmless trip from Chicago to the old country.
